A BROOKLYN CLERGYMAN WHO FAvoKs DANCING AND
OPPOSES POVERTY.
1.-The Church and Social Problems was the sub
ject Of lecture by the Rev. j. w. Chadwick in
the second Unitarian church, in Brooklyn, Sunday
evening. Most social problems. the speaker said
ought TO be settled outside the churches. History
shows that churches have meddled TOO much with
social questions For instance. in the exercise Of
charity Mr.. Chadwick said the church has taught
too long that IL is more virtuous 10 be poor than IL
is 10 have competence, and the result is that the
poorer they have become, because the tendency in
the church Is 10 monOpolize wealth.
There were some social matters which Mr.. Chad
wick would have the church take a hand in.
These he said, are the caring Tor the poor of the
church members; the education OF little children
in a scientific way, in kindergartens, until the
work should be turned over 10 the city or state
and furthermore, the appointment OF churchmen
on municipal committees.
As 10 the question OF the Bible in the public
Schools the less churches interfere the better Tor
every body. Only on the ground OF ScCularizatiOn
or education he said, can the Catholics be refused
portion OF the public funds for parochiai schools.
Mr.. Chadwick said that he was not in sympathy
with those people who hold that when the church
ceases To entertain people its occupation is gone
dancing and singing, and even in church he would
anything TO laugh at.
Thrice happy is America, Mr.. Chadwick said
finally, that her fathers were so strongly secu-
lar, that no theological imputatiOnS or ecclesi-
astical entanglement5 can be found in the Con-

Fatal End Of q Fencing Match.

u
PLAYING WITH Fons AFTER A WINE SUPER COSTS
MAN HIS LIFE
The Cercle de Grandissime, New Orleans social
club, composed OF prominent creole gentlemen,
Saturday night gave a supper which was pro-
longed until late hour, and at which wine flowed
so freely that most IL not ALL OF the party were by
IL O'Clock considerably under its influence In the
party were John T. Fernandez thirty-fou years
OF age. and Henry Bernard, both In high standing
In society in the creole district OF the city.
both expert Swordsmen-engaged in q fencing
match for the edincaton OF the rest OF the party.
They used q pair OF fOtlS which had been hung on
the walls OF the club room for ornament. The
1oilS had the buttons on them, and this being the
case and both being expert, the gentlemen used
neither the masks nor other guards against acct
dent usually employed In fencing matches. Dur
ing the play with the fOils the gentlemen from
the effects OF the wine, became very much ex-
cited, but at the same time were perfectly good
humOred.
The sport ended seriously and badly. Bernard.
In one OF his thrusts drove the point of his foil
into the left eye OF Fernandez The weapon was
Immediately withdrawn. The wound did not
bleed, and Fernandez did not appear to be badly
hurt. About a. M. blood flowed cOpiOuSly from
tine wound, anu Fernandez complained of an in
tense headache. In q few moments the condition
OF the wounded gentleman became so alarm
Ing that a cab was summoned, and he was
carried to the Hotel Dieu. Before he reached
the institution ne was unconscious. He never re-
gained his senses, and about O'Clock he died.
The city physician held an autopsy, at which it
was discovered that the foil had penetrated the
brain. bernard was arrested, and Is held to await
judicial investigation, which il is believed will
result In his release as all the witnesses to the
affair agree that the tragedy was the result Of an
accident.

Practical Temperance Men.
WHY THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR OPPOSE INDULGENCE
INTOXTCANTS

INIOXICANTS.
The Journal Of United Labor, official organ of
the Knights, says: 1--WE advocate temperance
because we believe in the principle that underiies
all progress from O lower to a higher plane OF
ex1stence-the integrity OF the Individual. Noone
can be ignorant OF the close union that exists
between the physical, the mental and the moral
constitution. No one can be ignorant OF the
degrading influence OF intOXicantS upon the
physical ana moral man. The effect of beer and
liquor Is 10 produce disease or the nerve centerS.
III these become impaired they convey false aud
wrong Impressions TO the brain well as paralyZe
the motor or moving agents OF the body. In short
they tell lies. The truth is not in Them. They
convey false Intelligence and destroy reason. The
drunkard believes his devoted vile his enemy and
beats her to death. The love he bears his child /,
turned TO hate, and he turns her naked into the
Wia9er storm. lntoxicants gradually undermine
the moral integrity and leave the victim open 10
every temptation. Once the barrier is weakened
that guards the path OF truth and rectitude the
man fails an easy prey to vice. The man who
lives temperate, honest life lends his influence
TO build up higher degree OF civilization, and to
create that center from which radiateS those
virtues which lend charm to existence, happy
home. These are a few OF the reasons why we
advocate temperance, and no one can look abroad
without viewing the crime, degradation, murder

The Barkentine City OF Papete, which arrived In
San Francisco Saturday from Tahiti, brought as
passengers the captain and crew OF the German
steamer Raiatea. which was burned at sea Febru-
airy Is, seventeen days from San Francisco for
Tahiti. Capt yiertck, OF the Raiatea, told the
following story OF the fire:
ION February ID IRE was discovered IN the Sec
ond engineers room. All efforts to extinguish il
were unavailng. Almost as soon as the flames
were discovered they enveloped that part OF the
vessel where the fire originated. While some OF
the were lighting the fire others lowered two
boats. The largest life-boaJ was In the midst OF
the flames and could not be saved. Within fifteen
minutes the kerosene on deck was In f1ames It
was impossible 10 remain on the vessel, and every
one got into boats. There were thirteen In one
and eleven In another. The fire was so sudden that
no one able TO save anything. The ships boats
were always kept prOvisioned, and had it been
otherwise those who had escaped in them would
have starved 10 death
'srhere was intense suffering from the heat and
lack OF water When all were nearly dead from
exhaustion, and after nve days exposure I'm the

group, was sighted Here we remained twelve
days being kindly cared for by the natives.
Thence, in a small cutter, we made our way 10
Tahiti, 100 miles distant. j. ID. Priel one OF the
passengers, died one day after the boats left the
burning ship. His death resulted from injuries
received In being pulled through bulrs-eye while
being rescued.
